Cal In The Field Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Hi I'm new to the shotgun and I've noticed the gamebore clear pigeons are the favoured cartridge for most pigeon shooters but no where sells them for miles! My local gunsmith mainly stocks hull so I bought a few boxes of there special pigeon 32gram fibre wad to try how does everyone rate them?

aga man Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 If they are the ones in a blue case the they are a good shell. i used some a while back on walked up game and they killed well. over priced as a pigeon shell IMO though. If your dealer supplies Hull then ask if he can get superfast in no6, just as good and about a tenner a slab cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitebridges Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Always helps a bit if you post where you're from in your profile Cal In The Field. You might find someone local to you who can help you find some GB Clear Pigeon. I've used the Hull Special Pigeon 32g No 6 12 bore in the red case. Nice and smooth and good in S/A's as 70mm case. The last lot I bought were under £200 a 1000, now nearer £240 which is too much. There are cheaper options out there which do just as good a job.

I wouldn't pay anything over a fiver a box, unless I really had to. The cheap shells I use will do just as good a job as those, unless you are going to be constantly taking on 60 yard birds.
